WE ARE NOT A SCHOOL, WE’RE A MAKERSPACE!

We realize that many of us lack the resources, money, or space to work on our ideas and projects. Even if we do have all the tools, we are often limited by our own knowledge. But at Vocademy, we want to teach and then give you access to use these “tools of making” whenever you wish! Vocademy is where makers come together and amazing things happen. Where you surrounding yourself with talented and creative people, in an environment where anything is possible. The place where you can spend time with your kids, your friends, your co-workers, and many others, all doing what we love; learning skills and making things!

Vocademy is a mad inventor’s laboratory, Edison’s workshop, an arts & crafts studio, a dream garage, and an R&D facility, all in one. Where you can learn as much or as little as you like, at your own pace, in an amazing environment. Plus, our instructors and ‘red shirts’ are here to help you every step of the way.

Cosplay (aka, costume, prop making and attending “cons”) is becoming wildly popular. Cosplay is for everyone; from Anime fans, to those who want to create the perfect Halloween costume, to sci-fi fans, to renfaire folks, and steampunk aficionados. Cosplay has no restrictions or limitations. Regardless of your age or gender, YOU choose whom you want to become. You can truly express yourself with the most creative and incredible costumes and props, and we can teach you how!

More and more people want to create these amazing characters for themselves, their friends, and families. But there’s only so much you can learn from YouTube videos and by trial-and-error. Having access to proper instruction and the necessary equipment really makes the difference. The best part is that the skills required to make costumes and props are truly practical skills. Skills that can be used in your personal and professional life. Plus, it’s a TON of fun!

Our goal is not to make you a make professional costume and prop maker for movies. We’re here for those of you who want to breathe life into your favorite characters from film, TV, video games, books, or even your own original concepts. With our practical, modern real-world classes, anyone can build projects that stand out from the crowd. But with the right classes, practice, and a portfolio, you can be a pro someday. Plus our Cosplay Workshop Weekends are a great way to meet like-minded, imaginative people, in an inspiring environment, where you can learn these amazing skills to create impressive props and costumes. Pick the classes you want to take and learn from the best.

Plus! By becoming a member, you can gain access to use all the tools and techniques in our facility, 7-days a week. Members can come back and collaborate, create and keep expanding their skills. When you have access to $250,000+ of tools and surround yourself with other cosplayers, the possibility are limitless.
